Our collection of photos from a great show at the Black Cat in Washington D.C., headlined by Flasher and featuring Public Practice and Gong Gong Gong.
Thanks to the IDLES, the energy in the club was brimming with joy, crowd surfing, moshing, and some stage diving. It was basically a love fest and the sold-out crowd couldn’t get enough of it. Very loud, very raucous, and very beautiful; a much needed cathartic release.
Staple crowd pleasers like “K.D.V.” and “Middle Fingers” were expected features of the set, but MISSIO's true measure of growth came in the final song of their set: “I See You”, and the emotional side of the band translated perfectly live.
We caught The Bobby Lees at the DC9 in Washington D.C. and it felt like we were being transported into a '70s punk rock Firebird time machine. A must see live, to say the least.

Arkells eased into the energy of the evening with their driving track “Relentless” off 2018’s 'Rally Cry.' For most bands, a song like this would have left the energy nowhere to go but crashing down—but Arkells are not most bands, and their fans are not most crowds.
On 11/11 at the DC-based show at The Atlantis, Nation of Language delivered a mesmerizing show of pulsating synth-pop ripped straight from the '80s.
We got chance to catch Caroline Polachek at The Anthem in Washington D.C. and she is unlike any other pop star we've ever seen before. A true magician that set the crowd ablaze.

Miami rockers, Torche, arrived in D.C. last week and unleashed their unique blend of “sludge” and “stoner” metal mixed with genres of “shoegaze” or “dream pop” from their latest album.
Chris Emerson aka What So Not stopped by the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. and threw down. Exactly a year after his last appearance, D.C. was ready for more great vibes. With an opening DJ set by Chrome Sparks, the dimly lit room set the mood for chill and mellow beats. Check out our full gallery of shots and be sure to catch him on tour.
Music can transcend its utility to become a powerful weapon, and grandson understands how to wield it in the service of the righteous anger of their message while balancing the entertainment of the crowd. Check out our full collection of shots from the show.
Once in a while I’m pleasantly surprised by an evening that is so intimately tied together that you can’t divorce the performances from each other. Performances that demand to be addressed as a whole rather than cut into distinct pieces. Gordi and S. Carey put on one such performance to a sold-out crowd at DC9 Nightclub in Washington, D.C. Check out the full gallery of photos from their amazing sets here.
[dropcap size=big]T[/dropcap]here is power in a band’s genuine relationship with their fans. A tangible connection that is somehow greater than...
It was passionate, powerful, soulful and vulnerable all at the same time. There were elements of funk and experimental R&B, accentuated by her extraordinary vocal range, and the message of the music was heartfelt and sincere.
Enter Shikari brought every bit of expected energy and then some. The crowd’s energy was easily that of a group twice the size, and the exchange between the band and crowd was a true spectacle. For this photographer, it was almost enough to set my camera gear aside and wade into the pit. Check out our collection of photos from a fantastic show at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C.

The music was loud and dark and ominous. There was spit and sweat, moshing and crowd surfing, and the D.C. audience just couldn’t seem to get enough. Thanks to Daughters and the triple bill, it was a memorable end to 2019.
What appeared onstage, through the smoke and the deep red stage lighting, could almost be described as Genghis Khan warriors, heavy metal style, with colorfully ornate traditional/tribal instruments. It was quite a sight to behold!
In this modern age of overproduction, auto-tune, and digital manipulation it’s all too easy to lose the emotional power of a voice in the chaos. Sometimes it only takes the simplest of setups to filter all that “noise” out and remind you just how powerful that connection with a voice really is. 23 year old London native Freya Ridings has one such voice. Check out the full gallery of shots from the show.
The spectacle of blazing lights and smoke matched perfectly with the sonic hailstorm the band brought to the stage. In recent years, 9:30 Club has shied away from booking many heavy bands, and Architects’ set was the perfect re-introduction of a raging mosh pit to the venue’s storied floor.
We got chance to catch British alt-rockers Placebo at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. on their first North American tour in 9 years, and they did not disappoint.
At 30 years old, Anderson East is just getting started and without question will be one to watch in the coming years. East is currently on tour with his full band and Jade Bird with summer dates throughout the Midwest. Regardless of the type of music you think you like, East’s energy has something for everyone and is a performer you can’t afford to miss. Check out our full gallery of shots from the night.
